In addition to memory behavior attributes (readonly/writeonly) we now
derive memory location attributes (argmemonly/inaccessiblememonly/...).
The former is part of AAMemoryBehavior and the latter part of
AAMemoryLocation. While they are similar in nature it got messy when
they were put in a single AA. Location attributes for arguments and
floating values will follow later.
Note that both memory attributes kinds can derive readnone. If there are
no accesses AAMemoryBehavior will derive readnone. If there are accesses
but only to stack (=local) locations AAMemoryLocation will derive
readnone.

Due to the genericValueTraversal we might visit values for which we did
not create an AAValueConstantRange object, e.g., as they are behind a
PHI or select or call with `returned` argument. As a consequence we need
to validate the types as we are about to query AAValueConstantRange for
operands.
We used coarse-grained liveness before, thus we looked if the
instruction was executed, but we did not use fine-grained liveness,
hence if the instruction was needed or could be deleted even if the
surrounding ones are live. This patches introduces this level of
liveness checks together with other liveness queries, e.g., for uses.
For more control we enforce that all liveness queries go through the
Attributor.
Test have been adjusted to reflect the changes or augmented to prevent
deletion of the parts we want to check.

The changeXXXAfterManifest functions are better suited to deal with
changes so we should prefer them. These functions also recursively
delete dead instructions which is why we see test changes.
Traversing PHI nodes is natural with the genericValueTraversal but also
a bit tricky. The problem is similar to the ones we have seen in AAAlign
and AADereferenceable, namely that we continue to increase the range in
each iteration. We use a pessimistic approach here to stop the
iterations. Nevertheless, optimistic information can now be propagated
through a PHI node.
Casts can be handled natively by the ConstantRange class. We do limit it
to extends for now as we assume an integer type in different locations.
A TODO and a test case with a FIXME was added to remove that restriction
in the future.
If we invalidate an attribute we need to inform all dependent ones even
if the fixpoint state is not invalid. Before we only continued
invalidation if the fixpoint state was invalid, now we signal a change
in case the fixpoint state is valid.
The test case was already included in D71620 but the problem was hiding
because it only manifested with the old PM (for that input).
Summary:
This patch introduces `AAValueConstantRange`, which answers a possible range for integer value in a specific program point.
One of the motivations is propagating existing `range` metadata. (I think we need to change the situation that `range` metadata cannot be put to Argument).
The state is a tuple of `ConstantRange` and it is initialized to (known, assumed) = ([-∞, +∞], empty).
Currently, AAValueConstantRange is created in `getAssumedConstant` method when `AAValueSimplify` returns `nullptr`(worst state).
Supported
- BinaryOperator(add, sub, ...)
- CmpInst(icmp eq, ...)
- !range metadata
`AAValueConstantRange` is not intended to extend to polyhedral range value analysis.
